LIVE Webinar: Computer Replacement Process and Cost Projection

In May’s webinar we’re going to take a deep dive into the computer hardware replacement process, including different ways to auto-populate replacement dates and costs, and a step-by-step guide to using the new Hardware Replacement extra.

Rather than a simple demo of the features, we’re going to step you through the decisions and actions that are part of the hardware replacement process, and invite you to ask questions and provide feedback.

Topics we’ll cover in this tutorial include:

Identifying computers up for replacement by purchase date, warranty date, model, age, etc., and using this information to populate the Replacement Date field in bulk
How to take the “simple approach” of projecting hardware costs over the next few quarters or months by populating the Replacement Cost field individually or in bulk
Creating and/or importing replacement Models to use as options to choose from when deciding what will replace computers, and linking current computers with models to project costs
A step-by-step guide to using the Hardware Replacement extra
Retiring old machines

Training and implementation specialist by day, user experience designer by night, Jason helps users learn the ropes of Sassafras, while mining their difficulties for ways to improve the product. As his father once told him: “Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy!”

Through the use of Sassafras and implementing ITAM practices, The University of Waikato ITS team has been able to reduce the overall computer fleet by 10%, resulting in significant CAPEX and operational savings. This has also led to a lot of new device intelligence in identifying users with multiple devices and more closely associating users with devices, software, and departments in the organisation. We like the automated reporting of usage data and the functionality that Sassafras gives us to help us with good ITAM practices.
